Product Description:

The VDP40.2DFN-G4-PS-NN is an operator panel produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the VDP IndraControl Panels series. It functions as a human-machine interface, allowing machine operators to send commands and view process data directly on the production floor. A resistive touch layer covers its 15-inch screen so menus and keys appear on the same surface, eliminating separate hardware pushbuttons and reducing cabinet cutouts. The flat front also makes the interface easier to clean and keeps onscreen controls close to status readouts during routine operation.

The display area measures 15 in diagonally and renders graphics at 1024 x 768 px, which is adequate for multi-window diagnostic views. Color fidelity reaches 256,000 colors on the TFT panel, giving clear status icons and alarm shades. Incoming power is a regulated 24 V DC line; at peak load the panel draws 36 W, or roughly 1.5 A of the stated 2 A maximum, leaving headroom for inrush. The G4 display interface couples the unit to an IndraControl L or C controller through a single hybrid cable that carries video, USB, and power. The aluminum front bezel holds a gasket that achieves IP65 protection, allowing washdown cleaning without water entry. Shock resistance up to 15 g protects the back-mounted electronics during machine indexing.

The panel is intended for shop-floor conditions. Its operating window spans +5 to +45 °C, while non-energized storage can fall to -20 °C and rise to 60 °C without damage. The enclosure outline is 407 x 370 x 68.4 mm, and the assembly weighs 5.8 kg, which supports swing-arm mounting without excessive load. A single hybrid lead of up to 30 m reaches the host cabinet, simplifying cable trays and allowing the panel to stay close to the operator even when the controller sits remotely. Current consumption never exceeds the stated 2 A limit, which helps keep wiring size modest and reduces voltage drop over the permitted length.
